P3D Ray Zone & Mr.Friese-Greene

I've just read Ray Zone's fascinating article in Stereo World
"The Problematic Mr Greene". In this Ray examines the merits of
the claim that William Friese-Greene was the first to make a stereo
moving picture.
I don't have Ray's e-mail adress, so what follows is a public response
which
I would otherwise have sent to him directly.
One of the important pieces of evidence Ray refers to is an account written
in 1933 of a paper Friese Green presented to the Photographic Convention
of the United Kingdom (PCUK) in 1890.
I have been doing research on the PCUK, as part of work on the
largely overlooked stereographer Alfred Seaman.The PCUK had a strong
stereoscopic tradition, and in addition to Seaman, the well known
stereographers William England and Richard Keene, were founding members.
My question to Ray is - has anyone looked up the contemporary report of
Friese-Greene's paper to the PCUK? The British Journal of Photography
reprinted
the more important papers from the PCUK in the week after the
convention.An
original of the paper may be helpful in evaluating Friese- Greene's
contribution to the development of stereo motion pictures.
If this has not been done yet I'll try to do this next time I'm in the
library.
Kind regards,
John Bradley
